Shipping Containers Melbourne

Welcome to Shipping Containers Melbourne, home to a wide range of new and used shipping containers both large and small. Containers that are ideal for shipping, storage solutions, and converting into hundreds of other spectacular uses. 100% Australian-owned, our mission is to provide high-quality shipping container products and accessories, with fast delivery throughout Australia, all with efficient, friendly service to boot. Looking for new containers for sale prices? Come see our converted shipping container storage options.

What are we best at? Modifying shipping containers – that’s the nub of it. So if you’re looking for a single container for storage or conversion, we’ve got it. Or if you need a hundred containers to set up an instant mine site or construction site, we’ve got that covered too. And if you want to turn a shipping container into a café or bar or shop that hipsters will flock to, we can help there as well. (We love creating special projects out of shipping containers!) With a huge range of shipping containers in stock, and quite a lot of on-the-ground, on-the-docks, in-the-container, out-of-the-box shipping container experience, Shipping Containers Melbourne is the ONLY place to come if you need to buy, modify or hire a shipping container for all Melbournians, short term & long term, 20ft and 40ft shipping containers..

Shipping containers are actually pretty basic when you think about it. They’re ideal for shipping or storing as is, but you can add a few things to make them comfortable for working in, or living out of. You can add windows, doors, air conditioning, insulation, lighting and flooring. You can even add a whole kitchen or bathroom or laundry if you want. At Shipping Containers Melbourne, we have access to one of the largest container modification facilities in Australia, and we can build and modify the perfect container for you.

Though Shipping Containers Melbourne offer a huge range of pre-modified containers like accommodation containers, first aid rooms, lunch rooms and ablution blocks, we also offer a complete modification service that we think you will love. Take a shipping container, add a few (ok, quite a few!) modifications and transport it to a remote, rocky outcrop and you have a mountain bike adventure hangout that can be locked up tight when not in use. Put a container on wheels, add a floor to the roof and railings, and you have a rocking portable stage (with room for storage underneath). Add sinks and serveries, and voila – a funky pop-up bar. These are just a few of the fantastic shipping projects we’ve been involved in. So if you have a grand idea but just need some talented technicians to bring it to fruition, come and talk to us. We love this kind of stuff!

We also offer amazing shipping container shelters. Container shelters are great way to turn a couple of shipping containers into a simple, effective facility that protects your large machinery or equipment, and secures small and valuable equipment and goods safely and securely. And they’re completely transportable as well. This is a great alternative to building an expensive warehouse, especially if you need to move your operation to another site later on. Check out our container shelters page, and you’ll see the epic way that container shelters work.

Given our company name is ‘Shipping Containers Melbourne’ it won’t come as much of a surprise to know we deliver containers all over Melbourne and Victoria. But did you know we also have depots placed all around Australia? That means you can get super-fast delivery just about anywhere in this huge, great country of ours. Depending on where you want your container sited, a Tilt Tray, Side Loader, or Hiab crane will be used to deliver your container. If you already have equipment like a fork-lift or crane to off-load the container yourself, you can also get your container delivered by semi-trailer if you like.

How much a shipping container costs to buy depends a lot on the type of the shipping container you want. A good, simple, used container can cost as little as a few thousand dollars. A basic conversion (like our fantastic Basic Starter Accommodation Container built with sliding glass door, insulated roof, split system air conditioner and electrical fit out) can come in under $10,000. It really does depend on exactly what you want. We pride ourselves on offering very competitive prices though, on both new and used shipping containers, so the best thing to do is give us a call or email us for a quote and we’ll get back to you within 24 hours.

How much does it cost to hire a shipping container similarly depends on your specific requirements. But hiring is definitely a cost-effective and affordable way to ship or store your goods, with hiring a shipping container costs starting from as little as $3 a day. So why not give us a call, or fill out our instant quote form, and we can tell you the precise figure, based on your requirement.

Removalist services are great, if you don’t mind paying for them. If, however, you like to DYI whenever possible to save some cash (who doesn’t?) then our door-to-door ‘Load Yourself Removals Service‘ is perfect for you. And it’s a blissfully simple set-up. Shipping containers melbourne deliver a shipping container to your premises, which you fill with all your stuff. We then take it to your new shipping container home and leave you to unpack your belongings at your leisure. No tricky timing issues, no pressure, no worrying whether the removalists are going to turn up on time! And once you’re all done, we take the container away again. It’s a simple, secure and a heaps less expensive way to move.
